Sous-Vide "VS" Reverse-Sear

Image
This experiment (using this word loosely) and of course desire to write this post came to be because of a discussion we were all having on Facebook. The Facebook group that was the catalyst to this post is called  Sous-Vide, Meat Curing, Smoking and BBQ ......great group of people that love to discuss food and of course cook. From beginners cooks to Professional chefs this is a great place to learn and dialogue about food.  By e xamining  the  different  cooking styles and techniques I will be able to make an informed opinion as to which practice is better and maybe outline some pros and cons.  Please take the results of this as more of an observation and only one mans opinion.  I will make every  effort to be studious. My note taking will be precise. I will use measuring equipment to record results. I will take pictures for posterity. And you have my word I will be unbiased and as sincere as humanly possible. OK, where do I sign.  So what exactly will I be doing? I will Cook

English Muffin Pizzas

  This is so r eminiscent of my mom!!!! My mom made these pizzas when I was a kid and they were awesome. I used store bought tomato sauce. I made a simple topping consisting of Oregano, Basil, Parsley, Granulated Garlic and black pepper. I set some cheeses aside and some toppings and away I went. This is only limited to your imagination. Great for the whole family to participate in because everyone can make their own concoction of pizzas.   Although there is no picture the first thing I did was slice open the muffins  and place on rack. I sprayed with a little canola oil and place in oven to toast. After they were toasted I started the topping process. I used Jar sauce, my herb mixture and some meat.  Top with your favorite cheese and bake!!!! DONE!!!
